Could mold from last month's rain affect my kids' health?« Back to Previous Page

Certainly, Mold from last month's rain might indeed be affecting your kids' health. The symptoms you're observing such as coughing could very well be linked to the mold growing in your bedroom closet. In the UAE, especially during rainy seasons or after significant rainfall events like the one you experienced, moisture can seep into building materials and create a breeding ground for molds.

In Dubai, we've seen an increase in mold cases following heavy rains due to the humid climate and sometimes poor ventilation systems that can trap moisture. Mold spores are airborne and can easily be inhaled, leading to respiratory issues especially among children who have more sensitive immune systems.

To address this issue properly, it's advised to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. These experts will assess the extent of mold growth, recommend safe removal methods and suggest steps to prevent future outbreaks. The sooner you act, the better to protect your family’s health.

In the meantime, avoid disturbing the mold by opening the closet or moving furniture in that area. Use masks if you need to enter the space for any reason. Additionally, consider improving indoor air quality with a dehumidifier and ensuring good ventilation where moisture is present. Regular cleaning of humid areas and prompt drying after water exposure can help prevent future mold growth.

Remember, dealing with mold isn't just about cleaning; it's also about understanding its health impacts and taking proactive measures to ensure the safety of you and your family in Dubai’s unique climate conditions.
